Maybe I'm in Star Wars overload right now and Rogue One is still fresh, but I'm not as amped for this as I was TFA. Rogue One was a great surprise and I'm sure as we get closer and I see a few trailers I'll be ready to go!

Someone posted a fake trailer on Instagram, but the scenes used looked pretty convincing. I started looking around on youtube for a teaser trailer in vein, plus there would have been a huge buzz about the trailer, specifially from the Collider crew, which I receive notifications from them daily.

The iconic lightsaber initially owned by Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) has now found its third and latest possessor in Rey (Daisy Ridley). LucasFilm has just confirmed that starting Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi and moving forward, it will be the main weapon of choice for the former scavenger.

As seen in the events of 2015’s Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, the blue-bladed saber was being kept by Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o) in the basement of her castle in Takodana until it “called out” to Rey. While she first declined to have it, the reluctant heroine eventually took and used it during her duel with Kylo Ren in Starkiller Base. And by the end of the film, she was seen handing Luke (Mark Hamill) back his father’s lightsaber when she found him in Ach-To. From there, it seems that Luke would rather keep his own-built green lightsaber and willingly let Rey use Anakin’s.

The news bit came from the most recent episode of the Star Wars Show, which included an excerpt of an interview with Lucasfilm story group’s Pablo Hidalgo as part of Vanity Fair’s new issue celebrating the 40th anniversary of the famed space saga.
